Children of the Corn isn't the best film in the world by any means,but there's just something about it.
It may be the striking poster art,the still rather shocking opening or the likable leads of Hamilton and Horton.
John Franklin and Courtney Gains make creepy villains,the narrator-boy Job
is slightly annoying (Not near as annoying as say,Bob in House By The Cemetery) and genre regular RG Armstrong turns up as a mechanic held to ransom by the murderous Gatlin offspring.
Johnathan Elias' suitably creepy score is excellent.
The only things that lets it down is what is often referred to as the 'Gopher from Caddyshack' special effects of the demonic entity under the corn.
The tacked on 'happy ending' (Studio imposed?) also grates.
For those who know He Who Walks Behind The Rows and have read King's classic short story from easily,his best compendium,Night Shift,will also know that there is no such ending for Burt and Vickie.......
